i think the rolling stones are an over-rated band. they only get so much acclaim mostly because they have been together for so long, and they are a relic of the 60's. Sure they have written some great rock songs as it true of every other well known classic rock act, but the stones are very one dimensional and the bulk of their work sounds the same. The same recycled Keef riffs over and over again. Most of their studio albums are also very uneven, and they are not a band that is known for innovation. They were followers, and followed the trends of the day. Some of the trends they copied came off well (the punk ethos of some girls) but they failed terribly copying other trends like Beatles inspired psychedelia in satanic majesties. But the stones really didn't start trends of their own.
you may think the stones are the "world's greatest rock n roll" band, but the definition of "greatness" is going to be purely subjective here. If you rate "greatness" with being slavishly commercial, then yes I'd agree with that and the stones deserve that title. But if you rank "greatness" as being a cutting edge, risk taking, ahead of it's time band, then I think the rolling stones do not fare well in this category. |

Well, probably many of the statements are true but the Stones are a way of life, not the Mozarts of the 20th century and the new millenium
There are many facts that made them the greatest R&R Band,
It's the only R&R band that have been active in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s so active in 5 decades, active in two centuries and in two milleniums
They are part of music history and will remain in it for centuries
It's the only band that use to bring four or even five generations to rock
It's the band that have us all here having fun and reading your post

You say they're overrated....yet the Stones have around 8-10 records that are undisputed classics. They are one of (if not the greatest) live acts ever, and are a band that has lived rock and roll through and through for over 40 years. You say they're one dimensional, yet the Stones have had their hand in every popular type of music...blues, rock, soul, regeae, psychadelia, pop, it goes on and on. And cutting edge? Listen to the cuts on Let It Bleed and tell me what music from that time is more polished and innovative. Mick and Keith have penned some of the greatest songs ever written. And the Stones are widely regarded by their own peers to be the greatest band ever, or at least in the top 5. Yes, they haven't made a really great record in over 20 years, but they did so much in their early days all the way up to 1981 that they can make awful albums until 2030 and still be considered one of the all time greats. |

why do people end thread titles with question marks and then make entirely one-sided comments in their posts?
oh yeah, and, if whoever posted that wasn't an idiot they'd realize what a complete waste of time it was to come here |

Well, I started my reply with "probably many of the statements are true", as they are real, then I exposed some facts. I gotta admit it was not a nice welcome, but it is also not the most diplomatic way to enter a board like this

Hope that's post number 1, and number last, dickwad.
You forgot to mention the Stones have released the most live albums of any major act. All acclaimed masterpieces that truly reflect the dynamics and powerful spirit of their live shows. Why, on November 1, another addition to their arsenal will be released...
Um, no, wait. Sorry. |

Interesting thread. This guy has a theory and is entitled to have one. I don't agree with him (although some of the things he argues are true) but why the overstrained reactions and the terms of abuse like some of you use? |

So had Hitler. He was a fuckwit too and deserved to have HIS 'theory' shot down in flames as well.

because he's a hypocritical fuckwit and his entire post was solely aimed at winding people up. Abusive enough?

In that case ("winding people up") this board might be full of 'fuckwits'

just because someone has a "theory" doesnt make it valid or worth considering.
also its a bit idiotic to come onto a Stones message board for the first time and with your first post, announce how ordinary you think the Stones have been throughout their career.
ighten up, F505 - its tongue in cheek.....Jesus |

oh its me, OK..Josh never explains himself...
Plus he'd be even more sensitive to the Hitler comparison...
I'll bitch about the Stones' business practices and laziness as much as (if not more than) anyone but I'll defend them to the death against anyone who says they're overrated.
To quote a line from a famous movie , "Love means never having to say you're sorry.."
